Handing in your files

Wednesday September 9th 2009, Some students are still having problems using the web login.

We have been flooded with e-mails concerning the web handin. If you can not use the web handin utility, please do no submit to us your code, rather follow these steps to submit your assignments:

Login into a CADE computer or ssh with a ssh program like putty. Instructions on how to remote into the cade can be found at the CADE website
Using a terminal window (or for remote users putty), root to the directory where your files are located at. Chances are your source files will be located at workspace/CS 1410/src/
Once you have located your .java files you will submit them by using the following command:

handin cs1410 AssignmentXX yourFiles.java

For example, if you have completed the second assignment, then your handin would look like this:
handin cs1410 Assignment02 myFirstClass.java mySecondClass.java myThirdClass.java
You can check to make sure we have your files by running the handin command again but without your files.
handin cs1410 Assignment02
It should report back to you the date, time, and what files have been submitted.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to visit a TA during his or her office hours and they will be more than happy to assist you.

As of Monday, August 31, I think I have resolved the handin issues. If you are getting an error, please see the instructions below.

Follow these instructions to hand in programming assignment files:

Log in to the CADE lab web-based handin (https://cgi.eng.utah.edu/webhandin/) utility. (Use your CADE lab password.) You may get a security warning. Ignore it, and try to continue.
- If you get an error, you will need to install an updated security certificate. The CADE lab has instructions for this, see http://www.cade.utah.edu/images/tutorial/cert.pdf for instructions, then try to log in again.
- If you are using Firefox, try using a different browser.
- If you continue to get errors, please hand in your files using a Windows computer in the CADE lab room WEB 210.
Enter cs1410 for the class name.
Select an assignment: assignment01, etc.
Select the number of files you want to hand in, and then browse and select your individual files one at a time. Your .java files will be in a directory like /home/workspace/CS 1410/src/assignmentN... if you are on the Linux machines. The location will be slightly different on other machines.
Remember to hand in your .java files! We cannot grade .class files.
Upload and submit your files. The number of files you need to hand in varies for each assignment. Please make sure you hand in all the necessary source code files.

Verify your submission

The CADE lab handin program sometimes fails. You are responsible for making sure the handin completed. Check the following:

Does the handin utility show that you handed in the files? View the list of submitted files, count them, and double check to make sure we have them all. If there are missing files, try again.

Are the file sizes and dates correct? A file size of zero or an old file date means the handin did not succeed. Try again.

Did you hand in .java files? We will not grade .class files, you'll lose the assignment points. (We need to see your work.)

One common problem occurs when students hand in documentation files with strange characters in the filename. You should not use spaces or most symbols in your filenames. Use only letters, numbers, periods, and the underscore symbol in your filenames.
